About Coquimbo
Coquimbo, whose name comes from the native Diaguita word meaning “place of calm waters,” has grown from a quiet colonial port into a lively hub of commerce and industry. Once described by Charles Darwin as notable only for its extreme quietness, Coquimbo today exports minerals, seafood and fruit, and is a key port for northern Chile. In the 16th century, the town caught the attention of English pirates—including Sir Francis Drake—who landed here in 1578. Cruise visitors can explore its fascinating mix of history and heritage, including charming wooden buildings crafted by early British and American settlers, now among Chile’s most unique architectural treasures. The town also serves as a gateway to nearby La Serena, a popular seaside resort, and the stunning Elqui Valley—famous for its pisco distilleries and clear skies, ideal for stargazing. With scenic beaches, history and culture, Coquimbo offers a relaxed yet rewarding day ashore.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
